Why does such a difference arise? In the light of Nishkama Karma, where does all this stand? How can we develop an attitude of equanimity in all that we do?
Yes, that is quite the experience of those who are no more moved by the push and pull of ambition and desires. There, the only motivation is money and position. But when these two normal prompters are missing, then the true swabhava and swadharma have a chance to emerge. If the old motives are going but the true impulsion, the work we are meant to do has not yet emerged, then that this kind of problem is often felt. During this transition, which may be short or long, this state can intervene. One has to then remember that the work one is doing is a preparation of the consciousness so that our nature develops the elements necessary for the Yoga and the Work that She intends you to do. It is a question of shifting the focus, of doing work as a necessary part of the discovery of the Divine within. So during the work one can continue to concentrate in the heart on Her Presence and do it as an offering to Her, as well as you can and leave the rest to Her.
Affectionately,
